Early on Thursday morning, someone posted a rumor on ColumbusUnderground that the local Smith & Wollensky restaurant at Easton was being “busted” by the State of Ohio for their illegal practice of refilling top-shelf bottles of alcohol with cheaper liquor.

It’s 2008, and The Other Paper doesn’t understand the Internet
First off, let me say that I was mostly happy with the way the article turned out in this week’s Other Paper.
